    I begin to believe that some people literally do not have senses of humor with which to distinguish impossible statements meant nonseriously from seriously.

      Ah yes, my favourite joke structure. All set up with no discernable punchline. Especially if the humour requires forensics.

      I like the way he thinks the lack of punctuation in his “joke” is the tell that it’s a joke.

      He’s also apparently never heard the aphorism that if you have to explain the joke, it’s probably not that funny.

        I like deadpan humor and often have to clarify that some quip was a pun, a reference or sarcasm, but I don’t blame the listeners whenever they don’t get them.

        If I were a self-identified contrarian habitually posting controversial hot takes in flowery prose, I’d hope to be a little less belligerent and defensive if people mistake an ironic joke for a sincere belief.

        It sometimes hurts that people believe you’d actually mean the dumb joke you said but you either have to suck it up and take the L or start marking up your irony.
